1999 Dodge Avenger Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
It is a sports coupe, after all, and people buy sporty cars for two reasons--looks and power. The 2-door Dodge Avenger already had great style and a body that drew comments and envious stares. So why would any model of Dodge Avenger ever come with just a four-cylinder engine?
Sure to make driving enthusiasts happy, the 1999 Dodge Avenger makes amends by throwing out the 4-cylinder in mid-year models and making the V6, 163-horsepower engine standard in both the base and ES versions. Previously, the V6 was only offered as an option on the base model as part of its Sport Package.
The Sports Package still exists, adding ES standard features, such as air conditioning, rear spoiler, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and power windows and locks, to the base version. Aside from some new colors and next-generation dual air bags, the standard V6 is the only major change for 1999.

Car accelerates very fast, as well as stops almost instanly. Handles like race car.
I bought this car used so the build quality isn't the best, it's got a small dent in the driver door, and a missing inner fender well on the passenger side due to a collision, but has been replaced.
The car (in my own opinion) looks mean, fast, and aggressive. I've always wanted one of these and it just blows my mind that its sitting in my garage.
Gas mileage is so-so. average of 18 mpg, depends on my driving lol.
This car is VERY fun to drive. It's wayyy more than i origionally expected. Oct 06, 2010

It has very good handling, it looks like a sports car, it gets great gas mileage and I do the maintenance myself. It is a very fun car to drive. Performance could be better but thats what aftermarket is for.Jul 21, 2009

this is a very Family friendly car, though its sporty coupe body isn't great for getting friends in the back seats, there is still enough room for your kids, the power is noticable but not over the top, road noise is minimal those in the front seats will find they have more than enough leg room for a 6'5" person. over all the car is strong safe and fun while being conservative and reliable.

Interior is decent, though I have made changes. Have leather seat covers, put in a CD player,
laser/radar detector, green light... Exterior red, no dents or scratches. Performance is great!Mar 30, 2008
What users have asked
1999 Avenger radio placement
I was wondering if there was really anything that could be done about the radio placement? It's horrible and difficult to access while driving. Has anyone found a way around this? I was wondering if it was possible to get an after market radio and new steering wheel with radio controls on it.

Starting up
I have a 1999 Dodge Avenger ES V-6. When I turn it over, it takes about 3 seconds of cranking before it starts up. during this time, it sounds like it's backfiring through the intake, but i'm not sure. The car has a brand new distributer cap and rotor, spark wires, spark plugs, and it has a K&N air intake... is there anything I can do to get the car to start up like a normal car and not backfire through the intake? And as far as backfiring, it's only once. It does one big pop and it starts right up. Thanks!
